Jess Sepel’s healthy apple muffins are the perfect grab-and-go snack

It's pretty much a given that the banana bread from the local cafe has no nutritional value. Yes, it's damn delicious toasted, and even more irresistible when it's smeared with butter, but unfortunately, it doesn't taste too good once you find out how much sugar and saturated fat is in it. The same also goes for that piping hot blueberry muffin, and cinnamon scroll in the baked goods window.

Enter: these nutrition-packed healthy apple muffins.

While the addition of pecans and almond meal provide healthy fats that will keep you feeling full, the skin on the apples are also left on to provide an extra hit of nutrients - especially antioxidants.

If you weren't aware of it before, apples are the perfect fruit for weight loss, are anti-cancer friendly and heart-healthy, and new research has even found they can help manage osteoarthritis.

And while these muffins might taste naughty, boy oh boy, are they nice.
